This is a wonderful movie. Although I haven't seen the other Oscar nominees for Best Foreign Film, I absolutely consider this to be a real contender. It is a layered story about 5 sisters coming of age in a changing Turkey. It has drama, comedic aspects and unanticipated surprises as the story unfolds. The five girls were wonderful, but Lale, the youngest, was exceptional in acting out the story. This fictionalized story plays out the religious/ secular tug of war going on in Turkey and its impact on free-spirited women. A very powerful film telling this story in a playful way.
